How to Breed Tangerine Tiger Shrimp in the Aquarium - Orange / Yellow Shrimp

Caridinia sp. tangerine tiger is an absolute remarkable species. They are one of the most vibrant shrimp having some amazing coloration with yellow and orange. This video goes in depth on how we keep and breed tangerines tigers at Flip Aquatics. We talk about the origin of tangerine tigers, their water parameters, tank setup including substrate, filtration and decor, water changes and how often, feeding and what type of food, and lastly about hybridization. I hope you enjoy the video on how to breed and care for tangerine tiger shrimp.

what is a orange Sunkist?

[@lookslegit4147]

I have 2 adult cherry shrimp,and adult orange,and 26 babies all in a 1.5 gal with fluval stratum,a few plants,77f water,and they are thriving! not a death yet! and I don't check water ph,kh and all that stuff,i just change %25 water a week or so,thats it!

[@bw6603]

Voice over was great! Sounds like you were able to revise what you wanted to say and highlight more important details. You have a more structured narration than on the spot rambling (which isn't bad) in this one. The Tangerines Tigers are pretty! I just got my first order of cherry shrimp, and I love them. My favorite thing about them is how they buzz around the tank just like a bee. I totally get why they're called Taiwanese Bees, they float around a lot like bumblebees and honeybees!

[@perjohanaxell9862]

Cool, you're water is what I naturally get in my aquariums.

[@ahofftn]

Voiceover is great, and the camera is much more stable. Beautiful shrimp!

[@HeroBearKing]

+1 for the voiceover, i like your channel a lot even though I dont raise shrimp myself, hopefully in the future!

[@martin.minarik]

Nice video, I actually ordered some of there and they are coming tomorrow.

[@jlathem56]

Like the voiceover format as oppose to you talking over the noises in the shrimp room. Also the information you provided was very good. Thanks for sharing.

[@travellife08]

Very well done video, both visually and in sound quality. Also, as always, great info. These shrimp are stunning against dark substrates.

[@swamphick7553]

Definitely subbing . great video . Thank you

[@SuperFlojoGuy]

Voiceover is good, I wouldn't completely turn off the actual video sound though. I like it!

[@royalcitizen6101]

Hey love the voice over, just a question, I just want to make clear did you say it was harder for Caridina shrimp to adapt to a lower TDS than what they used to having, example, my tank TDS 150 and breeders tank 200-240 for CRS. Many thanks

[@bluebowser3121]

I got tangerine tiger shrimps because I heard they were the hardiest of caridinia species. I also heard they can handle any water parameters... Since getting them I've noticed my colony struggles in my water. They fail their molts, they abort their pregnancies and they die often. Breeding is rare, but I hope over the generations my line adapts to my water parameters.

[@dwainkitchel1316]

great walk through :)

[@JessHull]

I love tiger shrimp! I had no idea you could grow and keep them in tanks. How long does it usually take until they grow to eating size? Do you move them to a larger tank as they get bigger, or are they ok somewhat crowded the closer they get to full size?

[@Jaly92Denmark]

These are not the Tiger shrimp you eat :D They don't get bigger ;)

[@catiacunha8755]

Hi! Can you tell more the breading? The time the eggs take to hatch? That kind of stuff

[@dorin-mirelpopescu6372]

I see that tangerine tiger take a wider range of water parameter than any other types of Caridina? Did I get this right?

[@19672701]

Do you have to clean out the foam block,or does the shrimp take care of that.Also is there more info on making this type of filter.

[@kaitang6327]

these vids are great

[@kaitang6327]

voiceover is so much better for these vids

[@0003skye]

Do you have any videos on orange Sunkist shrimp?

[@holdenhohman5549]

I have breed ghost shrimp and cherry shrimp and I want to take it to the next step, and I want to buy some crystal reds.Do I really need perfect water to keep them?

[@PantheraPress]

How do you get a "medium-low" PH? I want to put Neos and TT together but I feel like the buffering substrate is going to make it to low. How do you get it somewhere around 6.5-7?

[@vaansaquatics8221]

Nice video,

[@cryoraptora303tm2]

Well, no, you probably wouldn't find yellow _Neocaridina_ shrimp in the wild. The tiger pattern is in most wild-types, but the yellow isn't. Apart from the genetics of it, yellow is a very bright colour so the yellow shrimp would be found and eaten by a predator at an early age. That's the whole point of them being brown, olive or colourless in the wild; it helps them blend into their environment, which makes it harder for predators to find them. Occasionally a slight colour variation will pop up in a wild shrimp population (i.e. a more redder brown), which is where red cherry shrimps were originally bred from, but they will usually be very dark, dull and not much different from the standard brown. It's from there that they were bred, and slowly brighter colours came out, until eventually we get to the strains we have today.

[@ramshorn9427]

I'm not sure if my strain of Tangerines are different but I breed them with tap water ph of 7.8 and they wont stop breeding.

[@rorylarkin4669]

Do you keep any other non-tiger caridinas in conditions like that?

[@harrynarainen5452]

Yep, I have CRS and CBS in a pH of 7.8 and they are breeding like crazy.

[@joshlehman7917]

Rams Horn how do you get your crs/cbs to thrive in high ph?

[@sybrandscheveers5726]

haiii, the voice over improves the audio quality a lot, not hearing al those tanks is strange 😃. the filming is great as well, the only thing I miss is that you turn the camera over and talk straight to me(us). you can combine it in the future like you did over here😉. greeds Sybrand

[@thomaskrafft9890]

Well done with the voice over! But we don't get to see you in the final greeting....With every kind of shrimp you introduce us to you complicate the decision of which one to get!

[@fred3000]

Hey Rob, I would like to setup my own Aquarium with 34 Litres with shrimp and do some Aquascaping. Can you recommend any Equipment in terms of Filter and Heater, soil, substrate etc?

[@slipper409]

Can you cycle the substrate in the boxes, then move it to an active tank when you're done?

[@thomaskrafft9890]

slipper409 When he talks about a buffered substrate it refers to the type of material it is. Some are inert and won't affect pH while others are buffered and move a pH almost permanently either up or down until they need to be exchanged. The tubs make it easy to remove only half at a time and keep the beneficial bacteria populations high.

[@videonoob9648]

May I ask a noon question? I see many guys breeding different colors, is it possible to breed bigger shrimp? I thin that a shrimp the size or just a bit smaller than an Amano shrimp would be amazing. Again sorry for the noob question.

[@Jvdg3m3nt]

I guess it may be possible, but would take decades if not centuries to get them to a consistent size.

[@joshuajuly6694]

Can caridina shrimp and neocaridina shrimp breed with each other( I'm thinking not, but I'm curious to know).

[@kathleenmonsegue9700]

Do tangerine tigers survive in the same type of water parameters as red cherry shrimp?

[@SapphosSails]

What is the weird stuff on your suesswassertang I got some recently and mine has it too. It looks like some kind of algae?

[@brotherted4HIM]

I have a sand substrate but want to add a thin layer of a darker subtrate on the surface. Any suggestions as to what kind? Thanks!

[@ShrimpAquatics]

Ok if those are tangerine tigers what are/ look like orange bee’s??

[@brotherted4HIM]

Not sure if I ever received an answer from you about the plants I sent. Were they okay? I just set up a new shrimp tank and want to order the Yellow shrimp real soon. Do you sell these and if so, how much for a starter group? Thanks and still waiting for some of the freebies. If you need my address again, let me know.

[@LupDiesel]

Ted Ongirski hey Ted, not sure what happened but we never received them. Not sure what happened. But we never ever got them. Sorry :(

[@garuda9680]

What kind of gravels are using shrimp tank

[@Axelorox]

Great video. I have a few of these in my 120 and love them. One thing though - it's pronounced "gee - nus", not "genius". ;)

[@LylyAm123]

What issues have people been having with the sponge filters??

[@craigmason]

Are they easy to keep like cherry shrimp

[@thienle1995]

hello, how do you lower your pH? may I use seachem Acid buffer ? is it safe to add directly to the tank. I have 14 CRS and 10 yellow shrimps

[@gzwanjamal7025]

You need to use active soil

[@kathleenmonsegue9700]

And would they breed with red cherry shrimps?

[@akainusdonutshop5147]

Kathleen Monsegue saying cherry shrimp are neo they most likely won’t.🙃

[@pernilsson7194]

woud them survive shipping to sweden

[@dorin-mirelpopescu6372]

why is it more "frowned upon" to mix Neocaridina than Caridina?

[@NeonTetraAquarist]

Dorin-Mirel Popescu Becuase if you mix neos, they breed mostly brown/clear babies. It takes years to line breed and get a good solid color or pattern in a neo shrimp, and to just ruin all of that work in one or two generations is a very frowned upon thing to do.

[@catnip3111]

glass garden? they are in El Salvador lol got the website? I'd like to see what they have lol

[@LupDiesel]

+Alexis Chris glasgarten :)

[@catnip3111]

my god, they are SO EXPENSIVE! BUT I LIKE the 30X30X30 water fall tank but it's 144,44 was 169.90 lol but u see they have the golden tiger dwarf sheimp...3.90 each! too bad the galaxy tigers are sold out sad let me know when you get tigers please any and all are great for me!

[@catnip3111]

They don't ship to usa! I tried to get some tigers and no "america" or "usa" on the place to put in for place you live at it's all in Europe; unless I put United Kingdom's but I don't live in Britain, I live here in the USA, so this is quite frustrating and confusing how is anyone supposed to get any kind of food or shrimp imported to overhear if we as "USA / AMERICA " are not on the guest list ?

[@flamepeace]

MAFIA CARIDINA kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@Kobalt2772]

Mine are really Orange

[@tumor0]

My girlfriend complimented your eyebrows.
